Good question :-) I've always felt that LMS has been better suited to a Linux environment than a Windows environment. It's primarily PERL-based with a MySql or MySQLLite database, both of which are native to Linux and neither of which is native to Windows. It just seemed the right approach. It's also handy to be able to shutdown and backup the whole VM.
As I'm also running a domain in the house, my 2012R2 is the domain controller and hosts DNS and DHCP, and I don't have DNS forwarders set up on DNS, I rely on the standard configuration of root hints. In essence, it's a standard 2012R2 server and a standard Ubuntu install with a standard LMS install. No tweaking required anywhere. LMS is bombproof, I can run it for 2-3 months quite happily, never having to restart. In fact I accidentally left a playlist of my entire collection running when I went away for a week....it was still happily playing upon my return. And yes, absolutely no stuttering, no buffering, no dropouts. I tend to listen to Radio Scotland on it (using the "alternative" setup guide and HLS format), but also various other internet stations. I have an 8Mb broadband connection (standard ADSL, no fibre).
